8Sci CH2

8th Science CH2 Magnetism

TermDefinition
electric generator produces electricity for home and business use by inducing currents through rotating a coil within a magnetic field; in the US household alternating current changes direction 120 times/second
electric motor motor that uses an electromagnet to change electric energy into mechanical energy, creating the ability of machines such as washers and vacuum cleaners to perform work
electromagnet magnet produced by passing an electric current through a coil of wire wound around a core
induced current electric current produced by using a magnet; results when a magnetic field is changed in a coil-the field can be changed by moving either the coil or the magnet
induced magnetism magnetism that occurs only in the presence of a magnetic field-when the magnetized object is removed from the magnetic field, its poles soon disappear
loudspeaker changes variations in electric current into sound waves in radios and speakers
magnetic field three-dimensional region where magnetic forces act; Earth;s huge magnetic field, which resembles a large bar magnet, extends far out into space and protects us from showers of high-energy charged particles
magnetic poles in a bar magnet, the two ends that point north-south--the places where the magnetic field is strongest; two north-seeking poles repel each other, but a north-seeking pole and a south-seeking pole attract each other
transformer ensures that electricity produced by a power company has the correct voltage by raising (step-up transformer) or lowering (step-down transformer) the voltage to the needed level

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
